Near Infrared (NIR) Light Therapy in Calgary: A Holistic Treatment Guided by Naturopathic Care

How clinical-grade light therapy supports healing, recovery, and overall wellness

Near Infrared (NIR) light therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that supports the body’s natural healing processes. Many people use it to promote relaxation, skin health, muscle recovery, and overall cellular wellness. It’s a simple way to recharge—no downtime required. We at CNV love combining it with something like an IV or acupuncture session. 

What is Near Infrared light therapy?

Near Infrared light therapy or the fancy name- photobiomodulation- uses light waves to alter biology. While although this is newly popular in health and wellness, studies on NIR light therapy have been around since the 1960s.

How does NIR light therapy work?

The wavelength of near infrared light goes deeper, up to 5mm to 10mm, allowing it to reach tissues, joints, and nerves. With NIR light’s ability to penetrate the skin it can target tissue and help increase blood flow and delivery of oxygen to cells. This helps with deep tissue repair, joint pain, muscle recovery, reducing inflammation, and potential brain health benefits.

Come relax at CNV and get your NIR Light Therapy

While there are at home NIR light therapy devices that can be purchased, clinical devices will most likely be more powerful. We provide a relaxing atmosphere for you to rejuvenate both body and mind. It can be hard to relax at home with your own NIR light therapy if you have laundry staring at you from the hamper! Come give it a try at either our Calgary Crowfoot location or Kathyrn location.
